Legal Culture in the Age of Globalization
This volume of essays examines how the legal systems of the chief countries of Latin America and Mediterranean Europe—Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, France, Italy, and Spain—changed in the last quarter of the 20th century. Through essays that provide a wealth of data on the courts and the legal profession in these countries, the book attempts to relate changes in the operation of the legal systems to changes in the political and social history of the societies in which they are embedded. The details vary, in accordance with the particular history and structure of the countries, but there are also key commonalities that run through all of the stories: democratization, globalization, and changes in the legal order that seem to be worldwide; more power to courts; a growing legal profession; and the entry of women into what was once a masculine club.

La Tradición Constitucional de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile
En medio del reciente debate sobre el cambio de la Constitución de nuestro país, que ha cobrado especial intensidad con la reforma constitucional habilitante de un procedimiento para elaborar una nueva Constitución a fines de 2019, vuelve a surgir con fuerza la noción de tradición constitucional chilena como parámetro de evaluación del proceso constituyente. En el primer volumen de esta investigación, el destacado constitucionalista José Francisco García desarrolló el marco conceptual para estudiar la idea de tradición constitucional, el caso chileno y, de manera específica, el aporte de la tradición constitucional de la Facultad de Derecho de la Pontificia Universidad Católic...
Responsabilidad contractual
Este libro pone al día a la literatura jurídica nacional y nos presenta una obra maciza, completa y actualizada sobre las distintas instituciones, teorías y conceptos involucrados en la responsabilidad contractual. El autor incorpora aspectos que suelen encontrarse solo en textos que desarrollan la teoría general del contrato, como la imprevisión, el abuso del derecho o los efectos de los contratos, y también analiza instituciones que tradicionalmente han sido abordadas solo en artículos especializados, como la declaración unilateral de voluntad, la simulación, el fraude a la ley, el deber del acreedor de mitigar los daños, la interferencia en contrato ajeno, la acción pauliana y ...
